 Michele Fasolo, La via Egnatia I. Da Apollonia e
Dyrrachium ad Herakleia 
 Lynkestidos, Roma, 2003, 304 pp., euro 70,00.
 
      The Egnatia Way, that run through the Balkans
from the Adriatic coast 
 to the Dardanelles, has been one of the most
important communication routes 
 of the Roman world. The volume published by Michele
Fasolo tackles for the 
 first time the problem of the topographic
reconstruction of such route with 
 a more systematic and analytic approach; it
organically co-ordinates, in 
 fact, any written sources as well as the results of
the archaeological 
 researches and finds, but it also makes a critical
revision of all remarks 
 that many scholars made on such topic, starting from
Nicola Bergier, at the 
 dawn of modern topography.
 
      The first volume specifically aims at
recovering, re-examining and 
 updating the knowledge of Via Egnatia and the ancient
path that preceded 
 it, known in the Roman age as a road of Candavia, in
the Albanian central 
 region, running from the Adriatic coast to the area
of Ochrida lake and, 
 more eastwards, until the ancient town of Herakleia
Lynkestidos in Macedonia.
 
      The work is a far-reaching body made up of over
250 photos of 
 monuments, landscapes (many of which aerial) and
cartography which 
 illustrate the most interesting pictures of the
Albanian and Macedonian 
 territory ever seen.
 
      As the first edition has quickly sold out, the
volume is currently 
 being reprinted, reviewed, updated and enriched with
translations of 
 passages of Edrisi, new photographs, cartography and
table of contents, a 
 full summary in English, in addition to those in
German and Albanian, 
 already existing in the previous edition.
 
      F.W. Walbank, Emeritus Professor in Cambridge,
granted his paper 
 entitled "The via Egnatia: its role in Roman
strategy" by way of preface of 
 the reprint.
